Symposium on Motor Control in Biomechanics 2018, May 29 2018; Minneapolis (USA)

该奖项支持2018年生物力学运动控制研讨会，该研讨会将于2018年5月29日在明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯举行的美国运动医学院会议之前举行。 本次研讨会将汇集研究人员讨论新的工具和方法的运动控制和生物力学，可应用于先进的研究在运动医学。 研讨会的主题是“创新技术，迈向运动新路向”。“研讨会的结构将允许生物力学和运动控制领域的专家向广泛的受众展示研究的前沿，其中不仅包括工程师，还包括运动医学和运动科学的更多临床研究人员。 将讨论的研究，以及生物力学和运动控制的整合，也直接关系到病理运动和康复的个人谁持续或谁有残疾的研究。 奖励资金将用于资助年轻研究人员和初级教师的差旅赠款，使他们能够参加整个会议的额外一天，以及部分受邀演讲者的部分差旅费。本次研讨会将重点关注运动控制和生物力学领域的前沿研究技术，以及如何将其应用于转化研究。 这次研讨会成功的关键将是它汇集了来自工程，临床医学，物理治疗，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的评估来支持。影响审查标准。

This award supports the 2018 Motor Control in Biomechanics Symposium, which will be held on May 29, 2018, in advance of the American College of Sports Medicine meeting in Minneapolis, MN. This symposium will bring together researchers to discuss new tools and approaches of motor control and biomechanics that can be applied to advance research in sports medicine. The theme of the symposium is "Innovative Techniques towards a New Approach to Sports and Exercise." The symposium will be structured to allow experts in the field of biomechanics and motor control to present the leading edge of research to a broad audience that includes not only engineers but also more clinical researchers in sports medicine and exercise science. The research that will be discussed, and the integration of biomechanics and motor control, is also directly relevant to studies of pathological motion and rehabilitation for individuals who have sustained an or who have a disability. Award funds will support travel grants for young investigators and junior faculty to allow them to attend an additional day of the overall conference, as well as partial travel funds for some of the invited speakers.This symposium will focus on cutting edge research technologies that have been developed in the areas of motion control and biomechanics and how they can be applied to translational research. Key to the success of this symposium will be the fact that it brings together convergent groups of researchers from engineering, clinical medicine, physical therapy, and exercise science to discuss the latest advances and how different disciplines can work together to address current research questions.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
